I just returned from getting my FIRST covid shot—the Pfizer vaccine. It’s been two hours and I admit I was a bit woozy—but I ate a little lunch and I’m okay. Granted it’s not been long, but I’ll update as time passes. The hospital clinic (I’m in IN) made my last shot appointment immediately after: Feb 19, 7:20 a.m.
I feel VERY fortunate and hopeful but still hesitant and a bit fearful—if that makes sense. The nurse DID tell me that while everybody is different, the most often-reported issue with the Pfizer vaccine is the day or two after the second shot: mini flu symptoms including a fever, drowsiness and a headache lasting a day or so. But again, she said some people report almost nothing.
Good luck to all the rest of our brothers and sisters—this is ONE benefit of being a bit more—“ahem!”—senior status!
